# Android Studio AI Chat Integration This repository provides instructions for setting up AI chat capabilities with Android Studio, allowing developers to interact with their code and projects using natural language. ## Overview By connecting Android Studio to an AI chat interface through the MCP Server plugin, developers can: - Ask questions about their Android code - Request code modifications and refactoring - Get explanations of Android-specific concepts - Generate new code components - Debug issues in Android applications ## Prerequisites - Android Studio installed on your computer - Cursor IDE installed (for client communication) ## Installation ### Step 1: Install the MCP Server Plugin for JetBrains 1. Open Android Studio 2. Go to **Settings/Preferences** → **Plugins** → **Marketplace** 3. Search for "MCP Server" 4. Click **Install** on the plugin titled "MCP Server" (plugin ID: 26071) 5. Restart Android Studio when prompted ### Step 2: Configure the Client in Cursor 1. Open Cursor and access settings: - For Mac: Press `Cmd+,` or go to **Cursor** → **Preferences** - For Windows/Linux: Press `Ctrl+,` or go to **File** → **Preferences** 2. Navigate to the AI settings section and enable "JetBrains Integration" 3. Configure your settings: ```json { "mcpServers": { "jetbrains": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@jetbrains/mcp-proxy"] } } } ``` 4. If you're running multiple IDEs and want to connect to a specific one, add: ```json "env": { "IDE_PORT": "<port of Android Studio's built-in webserver>" } ``` 5. Save your settings and restart Cursor ## Usage 1. Open Android Studio and load your project 2. Open Cursor and connect to the same project 3. In Cursor, use the built-in chat to interact with your Android Studio project ## Troubleshooting - **Connection Issues**: Ensure Android Studio is running before attempting to connect from Cursor - **Plugin Not Found**: Verify you're using a compatible version of Android Studio - **Multiple IDEs**: If you have multiple JetBrains IDEs running, specify the IDE_PORT in your configuration - **Permission Issues**: Some operations may require explicit permissions in Android Studio ## Advanced Configuration To enable logging for debugging purposes: ```json "env": { "LOG_ENABLED": "true" } ``` To connect to IDE on a different address/host: ```json "env": { "HOST": "<host/address of IDE's built-in webserver>" } ``` ## Resources - MCP Server Plugin: [https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26071-mcp-server](https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/26071-mcp-server) - MCP JetBrains Repository: [https://github.com/JetBrains/mcp-jetbrains](https://github.com/JetBrains/mcp-jetbrains) ## License This project is licensed under the terms specified in the repository.
